did he know of any member of the Legislature

Enlarring the Town Hall.

The Town Board last Wednesday
evening ordered the erection of the
long talked of addition to the Town
Hall. This improvement is effected by
adding another story to the present
engine room so that the stage and
dressing rooms shall occupy this new
space. A part of the end wall will be
taken out so as to throw the new stage
into the main hall. All the space now
occupied by the stage will then be
available for seating room, and with
the gallery which is to be thrown across
the farther end of the room the addi-
tional seating capacity will be about
25O. Work is to be commenced at
once, and bids will be invited for the
contract. 1t is expected to cost about
81 100000 or 81 10000 to complete it.
The Hall Committee were also in
structed to ascertain the probable cost
of properly placing the fire bell, lately
bought by our enterprising Hose Com
pany, on the tower of the Hall.
Besides the above improvements tC
the hall it was decided to lay four inch
water mains on Frazer street from
Delaware to Pearl, on Pearl street from
Frazer to South, and on East stree
from Mt. Vernon to North, provided
water takers enough can be secured t.
Justify the expenditure.

The Public Schools.

The public school examinations
which commenced the latter part of
last week close with to-day and the
doors of the building will be shut for
the following two month. We have
noticed these examinations year after
year, in several instances at consider
able length. These this year have been
the same inkind andquality and doubt
less showing the same proficiency as
the preceding ones. The school has
been well directed, the teachers both
efficient and faithful, and where the
children have not made satisfactory
progress it has been the fault of the
parents in not having them punctual in
attendance or the children in absolute
indifference to the lessons before them.
There may be some who do not ap-
preciate their opportunities but the
most of them do, and the year has
been one of decided progress; and the
vacation season has not come too soon
for a needed rest for both teacher and
pupil. September will bring an invig-
grated mind and body. and what is APP
parently lost time will be more than
made up from the freshness and vigoI

IT is unfortunate for Delaware Col
lege that its troubles should have come,
if come they had to, before it had Sc
cured that $4,000 appropriated by the
National Government to Delaware for
agricultural purposes, for the friends of
the Conference Academy at Dover in
tend it appears to profit by the dissen-
sions, and secure the prize for that in
stitutlon if they can. 1t is entirely
natural for Dover or rather the men
whose political influence has secured
so much for that town from the Nation
and the State, to want to get this $l5,-
600 from Delaware College, and we dc
not wonder that it has raised some
feeling among the friends of the col
lege. There is something in name
and dignity usually crows age. 1t vii
be very strange if there is not life anC
fight enough in the friends Of the col
lege to head of any attempt to cripple
and destroy the old institution aroAnC
which cluster so many pleasant mem
Ories.

Fourth of july Suuibs.

The singers for the 4th, which will
include about two hundred voices, are
getting along finely in the practice. L.
NJ. Price, musical director, desires that
all the voices, old and young come out
tonight at o'clock sharp, as it will
probably be the last rehearsal.
Our citizens are requested by the
committee to bring out their chairs on
the 4th of July for their own use, so
that they can sit and enjoy the whole
performance in comfortable picnic
style,
As the Fourth of July parade is to
move at 10 A. u. the committee desire
the marshall and his aids to be in the
saddle ready to train up the component
parts of the procession at 9 4. u. sharp.
Our young citizens and farmers are
requested to appear on the 4th, as
many as possible, on horse back aGd
join the parade.
If the morning of the 4th should be
dry and dusty, our citizens are re-
quested to sprinkle in front of their
houses, and all will appreciate the
water works and Smyrna will be gay.
1t is the urgent desire of the 4th Ol
July committee that our merchants and
all business men, at their places of bus
mess along the route of the parade
display flags and patriotic emblems and
do all they can to welcome our t@rm-
ers. Also, that our citizens generally
in their private houses hang out Aagi
and display streamers fred, white ant
blue.
As the Revolution ladies inspired
their husbands, fathers, brothers, sons
uncles, nephews, cousins and Particu
lar admirers to deeds Of patriotic yalOT
and largely contributed to the success
of the was and the establishment ofQu
government, it is not to much TO asi
the ladies of our town to decorate thei
houses and to contribute by a manifes
tatiOn of their patriotic spirit, to tn
success of Smyrna's celebration. lie

THE announcement is made that a
new paper to be called the Iader is to
be started in Dover in about a month.
1t has it's Orgigin not in the fact that
Dover is booming in business and
growth in population, nor that the two
papers and three printing offices al
ready established have an excess of
work or can we'll take a new sharer in
the general divide, but simply and
purely as political exponent in a
factional fight The DeIGloareGn re-
presents one wing Of the party, and
assumes to be the organ of authority.
The opposing forces must needs have
an organ to put them on the same van
tage ground, and hence the Inder.
Until the past four years the Della
,carean had the whole county for its
patronage: the Smyrna Record and
Harrington Enterprise have since in a
distant manner been subsisting from
the same general supply, gathering up
the crumbs as it were, but here comes
in a new feeder with the purpose in
view to divide the loaf, and get away
with the biggest half if it can. When
we pass from the sentimental to sub
sistence, there is something very prac
tical in running newspaper. POliti
clans can't make it run along indefinite
ly like the prophet did the widows crus'
of oil. 1t must have practical support
and have it when it is needed. News
papers in a certain sense make wa.
for themselves, but when the field o
patronage of one becomes divides
among four, it is a simple question c
division and substraction.

THE politics of Baltimore have been
very unsavory for years, machine
ruling the city in the most corrupt
manner. Public sentiment is getting
too strong for such corruptionists,
whether at the ballot box or in the
Jury. No less than six men Of the Hig-
gins stripe have been found guilty of
debauching the ballot and have been
given two years each in Jail; and the
biggest rooster of the lot, Hamlin, was
in addition, fined one thousand dollars.
Baltimore has at last judges and juries
who have some regard for honesty and
Justice.

Diversified Agricultnre.

While nature is so lavish with large
yields of wheat in almost ever direc-
ton, and thousands of acres of virgin
soil are being added to its area of cul-
tiyation in the West, we can hardly
look for anything but low prices for
this great cereal. The sane can be
said for corn. For this reason our
farmers must turn their attention in
other directions, and in every direc-
ton. Nor do we mean to say that they
have not done so, for they have, as is
mapifested ip the acres in peach trees,
grapes, apples and gariogs small fruits.
All these avenues have been studied
by our progressive farmers. There is
besides these, 2 source Of profit that is
not subject to the blighting effects Of
late or early fFOsts. storms or tempests
namely-the raising of live stock.
There is something wonderful in the
production and sale of horses. They
are always in demand. So much atten-
tiOn was never given to their raising,
and yet at no time have prices been
better. The greater the production
| apparently the greater the demand.
And then, tie great improvement in
the breed Is also noticeable. 4 COM

The Walkers sundav.School.

Mr.. Ediior:-I noticed in your last
issue an article in regard to the sun

error | would notice.
Too much praise cannot be given to
Bro. Mason for the interest he took in
the Sunday School while teacher of the
public school at that place, but there
were others who come in for an equal
share, prominently among them Geo.
w. Mattiford. But it was not to whom
credit belongs that ] would make this
note but the relation of the Sunday
School to Friendship Church. The
pastor of Appoquinimink seeing that
Il large portion of the children in the
neighbOrhood of Walkers attended no
church or Sunday School, consulted
members of Friendship church living
in that section as to the possibility of
carrying on a school. The above men
toned gentlemen with others agreed
to help. The pastor sent to the Sun
day School Union and received Il grant
of books and started the school. Ii has
never known anything but prosperity
from the very first And as to the
dress of the people and children never
saw any difference between that worn
at Walkers Sunday-School and that ut
Friendship. This school was organ

bers of said church and is part thereof
